Dundee's Leigh Griffiths handed Scotland U-21 call-up
DUNDEE striker Leigh Griffiths has been named in the Scotland Under-21 squad for the European Championship qualifier in Azerbaijan.
The 19-year-old has been rewarded for scoring ten times for the Dens Park side, who are currently joint top of the Irn-Bru First Division.
Griffiths comes in for the suspended David Goodwillie, while Celtic defender Jason Marr replaces the injured Thomas Scobbie.
But there is no place in Billy Stark's 20-man party for in-form Motherwell midfielder Ross Forbes or Rangers starlet John Fleck, both of whom were in the last squad.
The duo may yet be called up for the the Under-19s game against Germany in two weeks' time.
